Pilot program trains students to become tech entrepreneurs

A pilot program aimed at creating tech-savvy entrepreneurs brought together more than 400 EPISD high-school students on Nov. 15, 2018 to give them a leg up on their road to success. The Success through Technology Education Foundation brought Techstars — a nationally known program that mentors and trains new entrepreneurs — to Bowie High School for a first of its kind high-school program. The half-day training gave students real-world scenarios and steps to start up a business. (Leonel Monroy, Jr./El Paso ISD)
